I also enjoyed Valhalla Rising, it had some moments that reminded me of S&S.

This is a movie that people either love or hate. I loved it's grim atmosphere, the visuals and the strange relationship between One-Eye and the kid. The latter pair would make interesting sword & sorcery heroes.

It's full of the "unexplained", a mysterious land and threat, and focused on one man's journey, which is very S&S.

I keep wanting to type Raiders of the Lost Ark, but then I think you'll just think I'm crazy, and I'd be crazy to encourage you to think of me as I am...

I think this totally qualifies. To be honest, I also think the 1990's Mummy movie fits in there too. Both have "modern" adventurers getting in over their heads with the unknown. That is the type of story Lovecraft often pulled from as well.

John Carter let me down pretty bad, I don't even want to talk about it. It's not as bad as the 2010 Conan, but it ain't good.

Yep… disappointing.

Sorry you guys didn't like it. I've seen it twice and am planning on taking the family to it this weekend. I've been a huge ERB and John Carter fan since the 1970's, right about the time I first discovered OD&D, and I've been waiting 35 years for this movie. I enjoyed it a lot!

It is comedic, juvenile, and reminds me of my high school D&D experiences but Your Highness has some elements. I'm watching it, the classic Conan flicks, Beastmaster, and a few other films mentioned to get myself in the mindset for DCC.
